Add custom directive for strftime in ruby

I would like to add a %custom directive to strfime that will translate months to the code used in some financial/trading reports

I've tried finding documentation on this but was not able to find. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Directives are hardcoded in strftime.c and cannot be extended.

Maybe try this?

months = { "Jan" => "F", "Feb" => "G", ... }
Date.today.strftime('%b %d, %Y').gsub(Regexp.union(months.keys), months)
# => "F 08, 2017"
